"It's good to see you again Annie, shall we go somewhere a bit more, private perhaps?" Discord asked the mare, whose jaw was almost touching the ground from shock, Granny shook her head up and down, as her jaw was to busy trying to touch the ground to allow her to speak her reply, "That's what I thought," Discord added with a smirk, enjoying her reaction.

He teleported them to Ponyville Park, as it was a beautiful day, many birds were flying singing their songs. A butterfly lazily flapped past. There had been a bunny enjoying the scenery but it soon started enjoying the safety of its home, as Discord and Annie teleporting in right next to it scared it. The couple found a shady spot with soft grass beneath a tall tree on a hill, where they ate a lunch Discord conjured, drank lots of chocolate milk, and spent hours discussing Annie Smith's life after Discord had been turned to stone as Discord had little to say from his experiences in stone except it was boring and uncomfortable.

"So, you didn't remarry or have kids while I was gone? What did you do with your life?" asked Discord, seriously concerned about the mare's social life, as he knew the sadness that came with a lack of friends, only forming one whose relation ship with him would not develop romantically,

"I spent all mah time workin' on Sweet Apple Acres, after time finally took its toll on me," Annie Smith started explaining, "I just spent time preparin' the apples and cooking instead of havestin' them, then, later in life, after Applejack, Big Mac, and Applebloom's parents died I raised all three of them on my own, I did a pretty good job, if I do say so my self, and I do." bragging just a bit, realizing this she silently scolded her self on proper manners.

"You did, Applejack likes to boast and brag a bit that Sweet Apple Acres, even though it is only run by you four, is one of the most productive apple farms in Equestria, not to mention she's the element of honesty, " Discord said prasing Annie Smith, causing her to develop a crimson blush, he was enjoying embarrasing her a bit, "Big Mac is very kind and humble," he continued but did not think about the fact that he should not mention who had freed him from stone, "Applebloom and her two friends, Sweetie Bot and Scootafruit, no wait, aha! Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo! Yeah those three freed me from stone, remind me to thank them"

"Those three trouble makers did what now?" said Annie, very concerned about what she had just heard from Discord, wondering if she had heard correctly, and if she had, how much trouble would those three little fillies cause in the future?

"Disregard that, how come you stopped visiting me every so often? I really missed you, you sweet little apple of my eye, I was really concerned when you suddenly stopped visiting" asked Discord, wanting to know, as he had enjoyed her visits until they suddenly came to a halt.

"Sorry 'bout that, the guards became suspicious, they thought I was plannin' on releasing ya, back then the punishment for treason was death, or if the princesses were in a really good mood it was just banishment." Granny answered, she thought for a minute then added jokingly, "Let's hear your excuse for never visiting me."

"I was to 'stoned' to come and see you, I couldn't see anything actually!" Discord replied, hoping to make the mare laugh, he then got exactly what he had wanted, a good old fashioned hearty laugh. Quick hoofsteps could be heard hurrying up the hill, as if someone was hurrying to find them, a brown hat appeared over the hill top.

"Granny, there you are! You would have usually been home by now, Big Mac and I got a little worried so ah came lookin' for you," Applejack said, all worries about the old mare suddenly vanishing, she looked around a bit and noticed Discord, "oh! Howdy Discord, I see ya found 'er!"

"Yup, and she is just as lively and fun as I remembered her," said Discord, he gave Annie a small kiss on the cheek, which caused the elderly mare to giggle like a school filly,

"Why did ya just kiss my granny?" said Applejack, as Discord realized his mistake, knowing that if he admitted the truth he would very likely get kicked in the face by a professional kicker, if there was that sort of thing. Annie Smith and Discord looked at each other cautiously, they subconsciously agreed it would be easier on her if Annie told her.

"Applejack, I have somethin' important to tell ya, and I might as as well tell you now," Annie said cautiously, knowing what she said would be like a bandage and would be easier to put out there all at once, "You know Discord but you don't know this, we are married,"

"Wouldn't it have been easier on her to ease her into it instead of slamming it in her face like that?" said Discord, a bit concerned as it seemed as if Annie had broken Applejack, though not to seem to soft hearted in front of an Element of Harmony (even a most likely broken one) he added, "The look on her face was quite interesting though, I must add." as Applejack's face had twisted into a weird expression on confusion.

A small mutter of "Wait what?" was all that could be heard from Applejack before the mare blacked out, causing much concern from the draconequus and pony noticing this.
